Want to become a birder but don't
know how? Join me here every Friday--on Feathered Friday--where I'll
post an online video featuring the bird of the week. Keep a running
list of these birds to add to an Online Life List. Then when you identify the featured bird outside--in your yard, neighborhood, or park--add it to your actual Life List of
birds seen or heard. "Collecting" birds is great fun, but more,
you open your eyes and ears to a whole new world of beauty and song!
It's another Feathered Friday and so time to add a bird to our Online
Life List. Let's look at another member of the Family Emberizidae--the
Song Sparrow. Sparrows, as a group, are often referred to by birders as
"little brown birds" or LBBs. Sometimes sparrows are hard to identify,
but the Song Sparrow's large central dark spot can help. Here's a lovely Youtube video by Lang Elliot:
The last photo I posted to this blog (before beginning Feathered Friday) was a Song Sparrow. Jump down to my March 29, 2012, post to see a photo and my description of his song.
Was I right? You be the judge.
Till next time . . . Keep birds in your heart!
